The restaurant is originally located on Gulou Avenue, which had a very long history. This newly-opened spot has a great view of its surrounding green plants and traditional Beijing Hutong. You will probably feel that you are dinning in the middle of Lijiang Lake in Yunnan. Its Yunan cuisine is wonderfully done, while its price is not expensive at all. This is the kind of place where you can get first-class service, but middle-class charges for food.
We stumbled across this place on Saturday night after eating Taiwanese hotpot – it’s a Yunnan restaurant in Guijie with all the requirements for a great JZM:
- it’s down a little alley and slightly hard to find
- an easy bike ride from Chaoyang/Gongti
- got a painting of a pig on the walls
- cheap, tasty food
- jars of weird liquor stacked on the windowsills
Address:
No. 252 Dongzhimen Nei Dajie (Guijie aka Ghost Street)
东直门内大街252号

See you at 7:30.
Tonight’s special guests: Nancy and Larry Raymond, all the way from Boulder, Colorado!

| While Alex is haiwai several JZM regulars will be organizing Monday’s dinners. This is my week to lead our discovery.
Monday’s restaurant is 乐都餐吧 (Ledu canba; a/k/a DeTour) delivering specialties from Yunnan province. Ledu has also earned the coveted five stars on Dianping (review); more information and directions appear below. To ensure everyone has a seat at the table please RSVP if you plan to attend; Ledu is a smaller venue and can fill quickly. For any last minute details or changes feel free to call or text me (136.2101.5827). As usual, JZM starts at 7:30. I hope to see you there. Cheers, Sean ——————— Directions: Reviews: |
